<p>Hello, I was placed on academic dismissal at Mercyhurst College for the winter semester after being on academic probation. Im in my second year. This school works in trimesters. I had a gpa of 1.6, I know its absolutely horrible but now I am lost. I am ready to go back to school and change things but everyone including my mother has given up on me. Im from NYC & Even CC don't accept anything lower than a 2.0, so what do I do ? How can I find my way back to school ?</p>
<p>Hi - does CC mean community college? If so, have you talked with them directly or are you assuming they won’t take you? Before you approach anyone, please reflect on why you did not do well and your plan to do better in the future. What are you going to change about your behavior? You have to be brutally honest with yourself and commit to doing things differently. You might have to take “baby steps” before being accepted into another school (non-credit classes, audit class, etc. to show effort). You can do this if you want it badly enough. Make an appt. with a school counselor somewhere and start the process.</p>
